Yes. You'll get by with one adapter.
Exception: In some older (Soviet-era) Russian and Ukrainian buildings you may still encounter installations following the USSR "GOST-7396" standard, which is largely compatible to the European standard, but designed for plugs with a pin diameter of only 4mm instead of the 4.8mm prongs the CE standard specifies. This will be a bit of a tight fit.

Most Soviet-era outlets have been replaced with Schuko-type ones. Those that have not have the same prong size as the outlets in Italy and Switzerland (which are smaller than the Schuko plugs).
